Recent national reports and commentaries on the current status needs of U.S. biomedical research workforce have highlighted limited career development opportunities for predoctoral postdoctoral trainees in academia, yet little attention is paid to preparation pathways outside traditional faculty path. Recognizing this issue, 2013, National Institutes Health (NIH) Common Fund issued a request application titled "NIH Director's Biomedical Research Workforce Innovation Award: Broadening...
Experiential learning is an effective educational tool across many academic disciplines, including career development. Nine different institutions bridged by the National Institutes of Health Broadening Experiences in Scientific Training Consortium compared their experiments rethinking and expanding training predoctoral graduate students postdoctoral scholars biomedical sciences to include experiential opportunities. In this article, we provide overview four types approaches our offer...
The present study examines racial, ethnic, and gender disparities in career self-efficacy amongst 6077 US citizens naturalized graduate postdoctoral trainees. Respondents from biomedical fields completed surveys administered by the National Institutes of Health Broadening Experiences Scientific Training (NIH BEST) programs across 17 institutional sites. Graduate demographic survey response data were examined to evaluate impact intersectional identities on trainee self-efficacy. hypothesized...
The Broadening Experiences in Scientific Training (BEST) program is an NIH-funded effort testing the impact of career development interventions (e.g. internships, workshops, classes) on biomedical trainees (graduate students and postdoctoral fellows). BEST Programs seek to increase trainees' knowledge, skills confidence explore pursue expanded options, as well training new that enable multiple pathways. Faculty mentors are vital a trainee's professional development, but data about how...
This study examines the intersectional role of citizenship and gender with career self-efficacy amongst 10,803 doctoral postdoctoral trainees in US universities. These biomedical completed surveys administered by 17 institutions that participated National Institutes Health Broadening Experiences Scientific Training (NIH BEST) Programs. Findings indicate non-citizen is significantly lower than citizen trainees. While efficacy was observed women compared men, it even for female Results suggest...
Written communication is a key research skill, yet the current model of pre- and postdoctoral training in biomedical sciences lacks consistent formal this area, leading to crises confidence when tackling writing. A 15-hour non-credit workshop, "Secrets Successful Scientific Writing," was developed collaboration with an experienced instructor scientific The workshop consisted six 2.5-hour sessions offered times; total 126 trainees attended over these offerings. Topics included strategies...
The 2012 National Institutes of Health (NIH) Biomedical Workforce Working Group Report documented that graduate training in the biomedical sciences predominantly prepares people for academic research positions. report recommended NIH provide funds institutions to develop broader career development opportunities, including related teaching. Indeed, teaching is not only a required component any faculty position, it primary task trainees who seek employment at small liberal arts colleges and...
